Description:
============
An issue was discovered, common to all the TP-Link products including WIFI Routers(Wireless AC routers), Access Points, ADSL + DSL Gateways and Routers.
This affected TD-W9977v1,TL-WA801NDv5, TL-WA801Nv6, TL-WA802Nv5, Archer C3150v2 devices. A malicious XSS payload if injected in hostname of Wireless Client devices connected to TP-Link device, allows remote attackers to execute unauthenticated malicious scripts because of improper validation of hostname. Some of the pages including dhcp.htm, networkMap.htm, dhcpClient.htm, qsEdit.htm, qsReview.htm and others use this vulnerable hostname function(setDefaultHostname()) without sanitization and push the value of hostname ($defaulthostname) directly to the ACT stack along with other parameters. The ACT stack is called on for multiple operation ids covering LAN, WAN and while intialisation of multiple tables (arp, dhcp, client list) across the device. For example, ACT_SET stack for WAN_IP_CONN is called while dhcp operation, during which value of vulnerable defaulthostname is being assigned to parameter X_TP_Hostname and pushed to stack. This causes XSS at all the endpoints which display hostname for example: Wireless client information table, ARP bind table such as networkMap, DHCP.

Additional Information
========================
The hostname value is only validated on ASCII characters, while there is no validation for Non-ASCII characters which allows hostname with XSS payload say "<script>alert('XSS')</script>" to execute. This value of hostname is pushed to an array as plain text along with IP address and MAC address in initClientListTable() function, and other tables use the same value of hostname accross the device. This array is then returned to the callback function which in turn is called from proxy.js.
This data is pushed to stack corresponding to operation:"LAN_HOST_ENTRY" (vary for different firmware), operation id: "gl" (gl is getList function). As client initiates request with operation id:"LAN_HOST_ENTRY" and oid: "gl", $dm.getList and $.act is called which fetches the corresponding stack and sends data to ajax call. The crafted value of hostname is sent to the device and results in execution of payload.

[Affected Component]
hostName parameter inside different htm pages including DHCP, DhcpAP, ArpBind, networkMap.

------------------------------------------
[Attack Type]
Remote
------------------------------------------
[Impact Code execution]
true

------------------------------------------
[Attack Vectors]
Malicious payload execution on initiating request for Wireless Client List table or DHCP html page.

[Vulnerability Type]
====================
Stored Cross-site Scripting

How to Reproduce: (POC):
========================

1. Change the default hostname of wireless client by using following command (for Linux):
a. vi /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
b. Insert and change the value of hostname to xss payload "<script>alert('XSS')</script>"
2. Renew IP address by sending DHCP request to TP-Link device via following command:
a. vi /etc/network/interfaces
b. Add these lines:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
c. On Terminal run command: ifup wlan0
3. Login to the router web interface, navigate to DHCP settings or Wireless Client tab.
4. As soon as DHCP or Wireless client table is requested Xss payload executes and pops up alert box.
